Inspire</a></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> hit the spot on friday.</span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">  Kim is from Ottawa, where it is freezing cold.  I am in Barrie, where it is also freezing cold. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> I so needed this little blast of summer.  </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">Some of you guys might not be faced with blustery, cold, winters.  </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">The snow is magical, and we go skating/sledding/skiing/skidooing... we enjoy the snow. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> But the cold - the do-not-expose-anything-you-do-not-want-frozen-off kind of cold? </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;"> Well, by February that gets a bit old.  </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">We cherish our summers here.  </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">The warm weather is fleeting and summer weekends are a precious commodity. </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">So many Ontarians head north to worship lakes and sunshine that the highways reach near standstill.  </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">But its always worth it!  </span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f1c232;">So when Kim posted these pics from<a href="http://www.mcintyre.dk/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"> Stuart MacIntrye's Portfolio</span></a>, my heart sang, and for a few minutes I felt the warm glow of SUMMER - hope you enjoy them as much as i did.</span>  </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span
